Pre-Release Is Back for Rastakhan’s Rumble - And Rowdier Than Ever!

Open your packs early and revel in some Fireside fun prior to the official launch of Rastakhan’s Rumble on December 4 by hosting your very own Pre-Release party!

King Rastakhan has decreed that Pre-Release Parties will not be limited events. Whether you’re an established innkeeper or you simply enjoy the company of your community, step up to the plate and host a public Pre-Release party. If you prefer the comforts of home, you can also enjoy the festivities by creating an unlisted event!

Rastakhan’s Rumble Pre-Release

In addition to digging into your packs early, you’ll also be able to participate in special Fireside Brawls that let you play with your shiny new cards before the expansion’s official release.

In Rastakhan’s No Cards Barred brawl, you’ll be able to construct decks using the cards that you open during the Pre-Release event. There are no restrictions on class or duplicates in this one, so you can harness all the mayhem of the Gurubashi Arena!

There’s also A Royal Recipe, a pre-constructed brawl that will have new deck recipes from the upcoming set for you to play with! You won’t need to have pre-purchased packs in order to play this brawl.

Your newly-opened cards will be viewable in the Collection Manager, but they’ll only be playable at a Fireside Gathering prior to launch. You also won’t be able to disenchant or craft cards until the expansion’s official launch.

Host A Rastakhan’s Rumble Pre-Release Party

Kick things off by heading over to FiresideGatherings.com. Be sure to indicate if your event will be open to the public, or unlisted for just close friends and family. If you opted for a public event, hang tight while we process your admittance to the royal rumble registry! For those of you who want to host private Fireside Gatherings, detailed instructions are available here.

Once your event is approved, you can do any or all of the following:

Share your event on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) with our nifty poster generator. If your event is private, download the poster and send it directly to friends you want to invite!

So, the post claims that I could also "enjoy the festivities by creating an unlisted event". However, when going to the Fireside gatherings page, the corresponding campaign can't be selected once I check "This is an unlisted event".

So a really small minority participates in fireside gatherings, why exactly do they keep pushing this? It's a digital game, take advantage of the fact that it can be played anytime from anywhere instead of restricting events to a physical place.

The complete and utterly irony of this is unbelievable.

blizzard wants to pin down their popular lucrative mobile game to a specific physical place.

and yet, think it’s a brilliant idea to turn the diablo franchise into a mobile game.

Well, that's obviously false -- they're making a mobile game, not transforming the franchise or changing its focus away from PC -- and you know it, so you've lost touch with basic principles like honesty.

I attended one of these events for Boomsday and it was a lot of fun :) I encourage you to try it out, if it is close to where you live. Cool experience to get to figure out some cards and/or decks before anyone else :)
